What happens when you put different ripping setups to the test in tough Mallee conditions? We followed the GRDC NGN trial from paddock to harvest—and the results are in. Find out which setup delivered the biggest yield gains and the best return on investment even in a drought year, plus how you can fine-tune your own soil amelioration strategy.

Trials at Walpeup (VIC Mallee) and Parrakie (SA Mallee) are putting a range of ripping tines, accessories and delving tines to the test on compacted deep sands. By quantifying draft force and soil loosening, researchers can calculate the efficiency of ripping tines and other soil amelioration tools. Roughly, the more soil loosened for every unit of draft force, the more efficient the equipment is.
